Hi
The stylos, sizes and assortments arc Iiptp to satisfy nl!
tastes and marked at such low prices that you'll .find
them hard to resist.
Tn addition to our regular stoek. while on our
eastern purchasing trip for fall goods we had the
opportunity to purchase at very low prices small
lots of cloth silk, linen and pongee, coats, many
of which we took advantage of. Tn each purchase
the garments were such that conformed with the
usual standard maintained by "The lee Hive gar
ments of Quality." No matter how low in price
every garment must possess enrrrt r-M -. r "
materials, proper tailoring.
As we are determined to dispose of oijr entire coat stock
before the arrival of fall goods, we doubt if the equal
opportunity has ever been offered to' you before.
